    a table set up for a wedding reception

    My son's wedding on 11-18-23, I sent and idea of what I wanted for cupcakes and an 8 inch cake and a variety of delicious Truffle. The cupcakes were the bigger size and I wanted bling with Navy/white with little gold pearl size candies sprinkled on top . With a variety of chocolate, vanilla and red velvet. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and it was chocolate. Everyone loved them. Melissa thank you and your staff for helping make rehearsal dinner perfect.

    I was in the Gulfport, Mississippi area and wanted a King Cake. I didn't want to drive to Slidell, Louisiana to go Randazzo's to get the King of King Cakes, so I goggled king cakes and up popped Melissa's Specialty Cakes about 4.7 miles away. Now I have had my share of bad experiences buying king cakes from places other than Randazzo's, so I was very skeptical. I called ahead to see if they had them, they said yes, so off I go. Upon arriving, the bakery is in a small strip mall in North Gulfport. They had plenty of king cakes and the prices were reasonable. And they looked good! But my mind kept reminding me to expect the worst. So I bought three, one for me and two for neighbors. I had a 7-hour drive home and as soon as I unpacked my luggage I opened a King Cake. Boy was I surprised...the king cake was EXCELLENT! I must say Melissa's king cakes are as good as Randazzo's. So I told my friends and relatives, because they didn't know, that they have a hidden king cake gem in Gulfport.

    I am the type of person that drives 2 hours for food that I am craving. With that being said I LOVE MACAROONS...seriously, I am a self proclaimed macaroon critic. I was esthetic about this bakery because via social media it looked precious and the macaroons looked amazing!! Therefore, I tried EVERY flavor they had. Only ONE was good. The shop itself is precious, very clean, organized and has helpful employees. The macaroons on the other hand where not good at all. The filling in each macaroon tasted like vanilla pillsbury icing. Each actual macaroon cookie was very hard. The ONLY good macaroon flavor I had there was the strawberry-everything else is NOT WORTH THE MONEY. they're pretty to look at and that's about it. My review is based on the macaroons and the cheesecake. I did not try anything else in the bakery.

    $225 for this burnt, stale cake.

    1 star is a stretch. The cake I just picked up is the most overpriced and underwhelming cake ever. It looks nothing like the picture that the bakery provided. For $225 I would have expected more and better cudto. I'm extremely irritated that I received a cake that looks identical to a $50 one from Sams. Update: I reconstructed the cake on my own The cake was not almond flavor as requested and tasted like it had been previously frozen. Most of the guests did not eat their entire piece of cake because it tasted so bad. Calls to the owner have either been dismissed or she just does a lot of stepping out for lunch.

    We ordered a birthday cake for our daughter. We had a cake in mind and showed them a picture which they printed. When picked up the cake it looked nothing like cake we ordered they even had the picture of the cake we ordered taped to the box.

    An actual Macaroon shop in New Orleans.

    First time at Melissa Bakery: I don't know what the h**l they bakin over there but this is what a real macaroon is supposed to look like. The fillings from Melissa's Bakery's macaroon are all the same. Each macaroon is supposed to have their own specific taste but they don't, they're all "bucket icing" that you put on a kids birthday cake. Annnnd, the shells are as hard as a Chips Ahoy cookie. Disappointed to the T. These macaroons are overpriced for $2 because it's not authentic. If I could give a 0 I would. The picture I attached is from a real macaroon store. SN: The lady I saw was nice but the macaroons didn't match.

    I came in last minute to get a king cake and there were a few left. I had chosen the praline pecan one because I was told that flavor was a popular one. Once my friend and I took it home and tried it, we were disappointed. It was more expensive than other king cakes that were highly rated, and much too sweet. The dough tasted stale and the entire cake was just loaded with sugar. I had high hopes for this one, but it missed the mark.

    Strawberry cake, chocolate buttercream frosting, and chocolate covered strawberries.

    I ordered a birthday cake from Melissa's, and it was wonderful! Everyone commented on how delicious it was. Thank you for helping make the day special. I will definitely order again.

    Inside of French toast bacon cupcake. Tastes like banana bread more so than French toast actually. But overall pretty good.

    Yummy desserts, but not as much selection as I hoped. The flavors were not unique (but maybe that's because I'm from California so it's hard to beat). The stuff I tried tasted good and was priced ok, but I'm not sure I'll be back. Especially since I found out the stuff isn't baked at this actual location.

    Approved an order THEN canceled 15 mins after the scheduled delivery time. Ridiculous.

    Fleur De Lis Gourmet Bakery has been our go-to bakery for many years. Nobody on the gulf coast can…read morecompete with the quality and complexity of their cakes and desserts, and they have been consistently excellent from the start. What they make here are not your run of the mill grocery store cakes. That's why they are not cheap, but cut into one and you'll see what you paid for. Just picking up the box you can expect a good ten or more pounds because of how much stuff they put into them. Their cakes are dense and fancy. Our recent order was for the Chocolate Bavarian Cream cake, which comes with layers of chocolate cake, strawberries, cream, and more. The 10 inch cake was upwards of $80, but I think it is worth every penny for the pure decadence of it all. We've ordered it several times over the years and it is always a hit at birthday parties. I also usually get my wife an order of their chocolate covered strawberries on Valentine's Day, because they put a lot of attention to detail and always use large, plump fruit. They often put the same strawberries on some of their cakes. In addition to custom orders, they maintain an inventory of smalls from cookies to mini versions of their cakes, so you can walk in and try out various stuff. They also serve coffee inside, so it's a great place to pick up a sweet treat on the way home from work.

The cookie itself is good but some of the other ones I tried are a bit bready for my taste - but everyone that I gift this too their face lights up so that's a win for me!
